While that might all be true it doesn't make the last generalization you
made true.
The simple way to check is to read the VINs.
I thought the definition/distinction was the 5 cylinder engine (ie, the
4 cyls are type 81, the 5 cyls 85), but your 2 dr 4000 4E sounds like a
disproof of that guess/assumption.
Does anyone actually *know*?
>>>All 81-87.5 Coupes are type 85.

>>>The '84 Coupe GT still had 4x100 wheels.
